GILUS District Scoat Execntlve ' 22tid Annual Pre-June German To Be Held In Raleigh June 6th To Feature Big Rhthm And Blues Show Parent Teachers Association and the Boy Scouts of America. Scouting with its objectives of character development and citi zenship training, has always been intended as a program to supplement the home, the church, and the school. It has been only natural that the Pa rent Teacher Associations as well as our churches, should see in Scouting a valuable tool for their • purpose. In recent years, there has been steady growth in the number of scouting Units affiliated with P.T.A.’s na tionally and here in Durham. Today in Durham we have five schools sponsoring Cub Packs, Scout Troops and Explorer Posts. In 1938, 2,112 Units were sponsored by P.T.A., In 1952 the total went to 11,843. The re sult is that today thp P.T.A. na tionally sponsors more Scout Units than any other one or ganization, and has accounted for one-fourth of the total net gain in Scout Units. This great increase in the P.T.A. use of the Scout program has been due to many reasons, the major of which seem to bo- Rapid growth of the P.T.A. membership and influence. The National Conftress of Parents and Teachers has grown by leaps and bounds in recent years and now has almost 8,000, 000 members. The National Congress of Colored Parents and Teachers has a membership of about 140,000 in eighteen Southern States and the District of Columbia; and there are fur ther members in independent local Parent Teacher Associa tions or organizations which are unaffiliated with the State and National Congress. The P.T.A is now regarded, almost univer sally by educators as an essen tial bridge between the home The 22nd annual Pre-JUNE GERMAN will be held at The Raleigh Memorial Auditorium on Monday night June 6.

The lucky platter was "You’ll Never Walk Alone” on the Epic label. The immediate response to this fine rendition of the Rodgers and Hammerstein tune by the music business won Roy a hat full of adjestives and the crown reserved for the king of Male Vocalists. LaVern Baker has been cho- adopted by an Italian Count and Countess in Milan who gave her the right to use the noble title of Countess. Immediately after that the recording indus try labeled her ‘"The ’Tweedle Dee Girl” because of her very successful rendition oi the Rhythm and Blues soDgrthat be came number one on the hit pa rade. Her Atlantic recording of “BOP-Ting-A-Ling” is today’s FIRST PLACE Rhythm and Blues hit in the nation. The Famous Drifters for the past three years has been the hottest quartette in the coun try.

Solos were rendered by Mrs. Reaves and Little Delaume Morrison. Miss Barbara A.

On Thursday night, May 12, the club showered a recent tMrlde, Mr*. Gwendolyn Biddle. and the school. The objectives of the P.T.A. are such that Scouting can be of help in their accomplish ment. Typical of these are the objectives of the National Con- gr.ess of Parents and Teachers which among other things aim “To promote the welfare of Children and youth in the home, the school, the church and the community. To raise the standards of home life, to bring into closer relationship the home and the school, that pa rents and teachers may co operate intelligently in the training of the child.” Increasing participation of men. Most local P.T.A. units now hold all or part of their meeting in the evening when fathers can attend, and many require that a good per cent of their Officers and Board Mem bers be men. Extensionof P.T.A. to Rural Schools. Recently there has been a wide extension of PTA units among Rural Schools. This is most significant since one- half of all boys in the country live in communities of 2,500 people or less, which is Rural by census definition. Much help is being received locally from P.T.A. units in sponsoring Scout Units in Rural Schools. Many State offices of the P.T.A. have distributed copies of the pamplet Scouting In Rural Schools. Next week we will bring you the last chapter on Scouting and the P.T.A. This weekend. May 20-22 we will have our Durham Division Advancement O-Ree at the Mt. Vernon Acres off the Wake Forest Highway beginning four o’clock Friday. See you then. N«wl An Invltlbl* Safety ShUld For 100,000,000 luii lallian Over 100,000,000 Americans annually pursue the sun with fanatical enthusiasm. Many are seeking its health Kiving benefits; all are desirous of a good auntan that will radiate youth and health. Yet, a comparative few, only about 18 per cent, take advantage of suntan preparations which will promote the tan they want while preventing skin damage. It is estimated that at least 26 mil lion people, get burned seriously enough each year to require treat ment. Those actively engaged in secur. ing the public health encourage adult education on the dangers of solar irradiation since laymen are rarely aware of the harm it can cause. Though nearly everyone can vividly recall the agony of a bad sunburn, few realize the serious ills that can alsoi result; Bums can prevent pigmentation in spots or m an entire area and thus tem porarily, or even permanently, ruin chances of acquiring a healthy looking tan. Repeated burning can rob the skin of its elasticity and smooth texture. To be fean^ far mere la the poesiMnty of engender ing • pre-cancerous skin cc^itipp Um zeault frequent vf«t- exposure.
